Amy has 8 years of experience creating art with a variety of populations from children, teens, kids/teens with ASD, adults, seniors, adults/teens with diverse abilities, and Mamas and babies. Amy offers a safe space for individuals of all ages to express their emotions and explore their creativity through art by building skills that support their everyday life.
Art therapy is an expressive and self-reflective process. It uses art and the creative process to therapeutically explore and resolve emotional conflicts, address relationships, develop self-awareness/social skills, build problem solving skills, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem. By taking time to process the art, we can find meaning within our lives.
No art experience is needed in order to benefit from art therapy. Free 20 min phone consultation available.
